Hi guys: I was trying desperately to find a way to solve a problem: I work with a radio station and often send in radio shows I have completed. My radio station owner thought that it would be great to store all my shows in the dropbox I'd been using for transfer. He called and checked if that was okay. Only, he didn't speak to me, but to my dear Rob, who is, shall we say, less versed in the trials and tribulations of all these interactive programs. You guess the result--my dropbox got flooded, jammed, paralyzed. So how do we set it so we can have things stored in Dropbox and not on our hard drive? Selective sync. Is it available in Dropbox Basic? Yes. Does the general instruction you find in the help center texts usable? No. I looked on the jaws list archive and found a message from Brian Elberton where he had tried in vain to access the selective sync function in Dropbox. I didn't know how to do it either, but I figure it out, so here it is:
Selective sync, Gudrun's method: 1. Open system tray. 2. Find Dropbox. 3. Press enter to go to the Dropbox menu. 4. Arrow up to preferences and hit enter. 5. You will need to do a bit of exploring with the tab key, because you land on the first control tab and hear things like Okay button, cancel button, and, as you tab forward, things like "Start Dropbox on system startup" checked. Note that JAWS doesn't indicate the name of the control tab. 6. Hit control-tab once, and you're likely to hear "unlink this dropbox", but don't do that. Tab until you hear "Selective sync," and hit enter. 7. Now, you'll hear, as you arrow up and down, the names of your boxes, with the word "checked" after the name, and if you hit spacebar, the checkmark will disappear. If you have a folder with subfolders, you can arrow right to check and uncheck these as desired. Note that if you leave the main folder unchecked, that will probably make all the subfolders unavailable. In a situation where you want to have some subfolders checked and some unchecked, leave the main folder checked. 8. When you have set each folder to its desired status, tab once to hear the words "Update enter" and hit enter. 9. You'll land on another "okay enter," and hit enter on it. 10. You'll be back on the first screen of preferences. Tab around to "enter" and hit enter, and you should be safely out of the preferences. You will notice files disappearing or appearing in accordance with your settings. Hope it helps. gudrunbrunot.com Listen to samples and read about my services: translation, interpreting, sound design, and listen to clips from my CD, J-Walking. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ JFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to [email protected] Archives located at: http://www.groups.io/g/jfw/threads Alternative archives located at: http://n2.nabble.com/JAWS-for-Windows-f2145279.html If you have any concerns about the list, posts received from the list, or the way the list is being run, do not post them to the list.
